Trades we supply

Plant operators

Excavator, dumper, roller, telehandler and dozer operators, carded for the specific machine rather than for plant in general.

What a good one looks like

Categories matter more than experience claims. A 360 ticket does not cover a telehandler, and above ten tonnes is a different category again. A good operator also looks after the machine, and a plant hire bill that stops climbing is usually the first sign you have one.

It is also where the pay rate earns its keep. Good people have a choice of sites, so the rate you set decides who is willing to take the job. We show you that rate and add £25, which means you can raise it without our margin moving with it.

How our pricing works

Cards and tickets

  • CPCS or NPORS card carrying the correct category
  • A98 excavator, A17 telehandler, A09 forward tipping dumper and similar
  • CSCS where the site requires it
  • Lift supervisor or appointed person for lifting duties

What moves the rate

  • Machine category and size
  • Whether lifting duties are involved
  • Site hours and whether the machine is on hire by the day
  • Ticketing depth, since multi carded operators cover more

We do not publish a rate table. Pay moves with the trade, the season and the location, so any figure printed here would be wrong within a month. Ring and we will tell you what the job is genuinely paying today.
